Voice loggers and audio recorders are used to locate, retrieve, duplicate and/or distribute audio voice or data information from single system environments to large multi-channel networked systems. Voice loggers and audio recorders are used in call centers, public safety dispatching, technical support centers, and aircraft cockpit voice recording systems. Voice loggers and audio recorders are also used to record client or customer conversations for quality control and workplace performance optimization. Typically, these systems use digital audio recorder technology to compress the signal for large storage capacity, quick retrieval and playback of stored data, and maintenance of records.
